The New Star Wars Theme Parks will be Fully Immersive

Two new Star Wars-themed parks will open at Walt Disney World in 2019. We don't know how much tickets will cost by then, but if you plan to go, you better get your story straight first. The places you go and the things you do will have consequences. Choose wisely.

During a panel at Star Wars Celebration in Orlando this weekend, it was revealed that the fully immersive theme park areas will allow visitors to develop a reputation. That’s right. If you ride the attraction that pits the First Order vs. the Resistance, the side you pick will have ramifications throughout the park. Fly the Millennium Falcon in another ride and, depending on how well you do, maybe a Bounty Hunter will start hunting you. You may be asked to do tasks for one side or the other in a bar and, whether you choose to do it or not, could affect your park experiences. The whole point is to immerse the viewer in Star Wars in a way they’ve never felt before.

We don't yet know exactly how these steps will be tracked. It certainly sounds like extreme surveillance, albeit with consent. You can learn more about the Star Wars theme parks and see the Star Wars Celebration panel about it at io9.  -via Uproxx
